Mullis & Peake LLP

Mullis & Peake LLP Solicitors is a leading law firm with teams of highly skilled specialist practitioners providing legal advice to businesses and individuals. The firm is known for its commitment to excellent client care and its strong links to the local community.

The firm: Established for over a century in the East London and Essex area, Mullis & Peake LLP Solicitors is committed to providing trustworthy expert advice tailored to meet each client’s individual needs. Its heritage is built upon close family and business ties and a progressive, candid approach to its work.

Mullis & Peake was founded in 1902 by Fred Mullis. He was joined by his nephew, Lewis Peake, in 1919; this was the start of the Mullis & Peake partnership. The firm continued to expand through three generations. Mr Peake’s daughter, Daisy Peake, joined the firm in 1937. Mullis & Peake was a truly pioneering firm of the times; Daisy was only the 33rd female lawyer in the country.

Today the firm can be found in Eastern Road, Romford,  Hutton Road, Shenfield and Station Road, Upminster

The firm has around 40 legal practitioners of varying levels of seniority and experience. Senior members of the firm are members of the Law Society’s Personal Injury and Family Law Panels. The firm is a member of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Quality Scheme and holds the Lexcel Accreditation for practice management.

Samantha Hamilton, head of the firm’s Court of Protection department, is one of only a few Court of Protection panel deputies nationwide.

The firm is a member of LawNet, which is an organisation of medium-sized law firms dedicated to helping member firms achieve excellence in the delivery of legal services.

The firm’s century-long presence in the Romford area means that Mullis & Peake takes its community links and duties seriously. The firm selects a local charity as its charity of the year and all members of staff are invited to take part in a broad range of fundraising initiatives.
